Obsidian 2023

Process: A blend of 1, 2 and 3 year old golden ales brewed with malted barley and raw wheat. Spontaneously fermented and aged in neutral French oak barrels. Refermented on Ben Tirran blackcurrants grown in Norfolk.

Conditioning: Packaged with a small amount of priming sugar for natural carbonation in the bottle. We do not add yeast at this point, or at any point in the process. Bottles laid to rest on their sides and conditioned until release.

Tasting Notes: Intense blackcurrant on the nose with hints of violet, spice, and wild funk. Bold, tart fruit on the palate with bright acidity and a touch of tannic grip. Dry, vibrant finish with lingering dark berry character.

Ingredients: Barley malt, raw wheat, aged hops (whole leaf fuggle, strisselspalt & saaz), blackcurrant, water.
